A good buddy of mine in East Nashville who’s a performing songwriter lost his house and all possessions. He and his wife and two kids are alive. Everything else is gone. Just wow. I lived on Fatherland St. in East Nashville from 2005-2010. My neighbor at the time told me the last two major tornadoes rolled right up the street. Looks like it did yesterday as well.

They paid for the restoration of Woodland from the last tornado! What's sad is that the predominately Black neighborhood in North Nashville is getting almost no media coverage.

That's true, Bob. I heard nothing about North Nashville until this morning from some co-workers.

It's sad I see so much of the "I didn't see something, so I don't believe it happened" thing going on these days.

I completely missed what it is that’s “fake news” and what it is that’s allegedly being politicized.
Deleted posts?

There was a claim that damage in North Nashville was not being covered. The implication was obviously because of race. Bullshit. Oh ok. Seemed to escalate unexpectedly there and I thought I must have missed something. I have no dog in the fight and no idea how the coverage is/isn't being skewed. The fact that there do exist media references to something certainly doesn't prove anything one way or another regarding overall coverage. Certainly not just stories about the event in general. You'd need a big data set to show bias does/doesn't exist (though we all operate on gut in this kind of thing and that's of course fine too). I'm just glad folks here are ok and sorry for the loss of life and property some people down there are dealing with.

He said there was no coverage. That wasn’t true. He actually said "almost no". Not trying to split hairs but that's a different claim (and one I'm not weighing in on cause I have zero insight into it).

OK watching what’s being fed to the National news organizations and locals here in KC , the coverage dose seam kind of white, but from working with newsies, having been the national story, and been around the coverage of national stories it’s not racism it’s that newsies are lazy. Yes we live in a world where Don Henley’s Dirty Laundry is real, but they play follow the leader. In my house we laugh at storm damage coverage where every station found that one tree fell and everybody is showing a different angle carefully blocking their shot so you don’t see the others. You think hurricane or tornado coverage is any different? It’s not! Why work and find our own shot, that would mean work, instead we will just line up behind who ever beat us here. Now part of this practice is kind of smart, the guy who got there first might know something, it might be about getting a clean uplink, it might be that it’s harder to get the first responders to get 4 news trucks to move than 1. There are 3 money shots of any disaster, first the area totally flattened, this is usually a poor area because these structures are the ones built like crap, then you have to show an area of better homes damaged as well because you have to show storms don’t just hate the poor. The last and most important is the sound bite of the crying lady telling us she lost everything. Honestly this shot is all about finding somebody who is willing to waste their time and dignity rather than deal with this tragedy. Newsies especially local’s outside of the top 3 markets don’t understand that unlike politicals, actors athletes and authors normal people don’t want to deal with the BS of answering the same stupid questions over and over so each reporter can look smart and like they own the story. They forget that for most of us this is not part of the job discription and that this verbal and visual colonoscopy is anything but fun. The timing of this Super Tuesday and Corona virus meant most national coverage was going to either be national talking heads doing voice overs over local footage or simply picking up local coverage ( it’s fun to see who the nationals use and who they don’t Dogears will remember the guy in Houston the ABC station would send out who would over dramatically get blown away during Hurricane coverage and how ABC would always use who ever the Dallas ABC station sent down to Galveston). You also have to add in the fact that everybody local was probably shooting and editing their 7 1/2 min of footage as resume to be edited for 3.5 min of national coverage. Nashvegas as cemented it’s self as a tourist destination so some things just had to be shown. Yeah I’m more than a bit jaded, but then I have seen how the sausage is made through the lens of a camera I sold as I was put through the grinder. Hell I know my name appears on at least 2 regional Emmys and a Peabody.

Looks like those storms came out of nowhere, with little chance for preparation. Tornadoes are like that. It's why they're so nasty. Absolutely.

He said there was no coverage. That wasn’t true. Well, it pretty much depends on what your"sources" are. Some "sources" are badly skewed/have agendas and therefore don't report everything, or don't report fairly.
It's pretty sad.

All sources are badly skewed. Not "some". This nation has never been more divided. Not even during the civil war. But it will all come out alright. There's a plan to fix everything. Few will understand what I just wrote but some will. Praying for Nashville victims and their families (of every color). So sad.

Few will understand what I just wrote but some will. Except thst it's not true, not all sources are skewed. It's possible to determine truth if one is good at fact checking and is willing to put in the work.
It also helps it one knows and understands history. If you kow anything abouty the fall of the (democratic, small "d") Weimar Republic in '30s Germany you'll have a pretty accurate playbook for what's been going on in the US for the last few years. It's actually pretty chilling to draw the parallels.
Yes, absolutely. It would help if there were people in the Federal Government who had a bit of compassion.

You and I are the Federal Government. They work for us. We can fire them every 2 years in the house, and every 4 years in the senate if we choose. Only half of the US electorate casts a vote. 50.3 percent in 2018, 36.7 percent of eligible voters in 2014. But I'd venture a guess that 99.9 percent likes to bitch about the current state of affairs. Half the country is too lazy to even vote. I'd say if you don't care enough to take 15 minutes to vote, not much hope for that person making a difference except for hot air on the internet.

However elections often don't follow the popular vote these days - the don't even try to hide it.
That being said, I always vote. If you don't vote you don't have the right to bitch about what goes wrong.
A senator's term is 6 years, not 4. Terms are staggered so that only 1/3 is up for election during any given election, barring deaths or other unusual events.
